During class today, we watched a land mine awareness ad on YouTube. Personally, I don't think this ad was done really well, because it's really fake. The people in the ad were obviously Americans, and the land mine was buried under a soccer field. According to my knowledge, the United States never had any land mines buried underneath it's soil. Also, what are the chances of a land mine blowing up now when it's in the middle of a soccer field? People most likely run around and practice on that field everyday. That's why I thought this ad was really fake. But, I like the idea behind the video. Because it shows that people are actually trying to make people aware that land mines are such a big issue in other parts of the world. This video really made me feel the terror of warfare, and how easy it is to get injured or killed.

Jesse, of course it is fake. The point of the video was not to demonstrate the their may be land mines in the US but to demonstrate that we won't do anything until they are in the US.
I agree with Mr Loken, but I just realized that now:D
...Well, duh. IT'S AN AD. OF COURSE IT'S FAKE.
>.<;;
I often wonder what is will take to get people like us who live in great homes and basically have anything at our disposal, to fully understand and empathize with people who have much less. I fear we have become a society that is so desensitized and detached from others and the pain that they go through that we are unable to be moved to action anymore. Maybe these ads are meant to jolt us to reality and bring the subjects they portray home to us in some hope that we will do something.....
